Josie Bloom and the Emergency of Life by Susan Hill Long

Josie Bloom is put to the test when she's confronted by mysterious wads of money, a washed-up baseball player, and a whole lot of squirrels in this hilarious and heartwarming novel in the spirit of Kate DiCamillo's Raymie Nightingale.

Josie Bloom discovers the first wad of money stuffed inside a packet of bologna, and the second hidden between the trash can and the bin liner. That money comes in handy when she finds the PAST DUE notice from the heating company. Seems like Grandpa has been spending more time feeding squirrels than paying the bills. But when a bill arrives that's too big to handle, Josie's going to need a plan to get more money--while keeping Grandpa's odd behavior a secret.

Hilarious and heartwarming, Josie Bloom and the Emergency of Life celebrates the lengths family and friends will go to when it looks like the squirrels are winning.

Long, Susan Hill: - Susan Hill Long was inspired to write this book when she heard Garrison Keillor, on his program The Writer's Almanac, talk about a group of men working underground in the mines, unaware of anything out-of-the-ordinary happening above until the power went out. It was the Great Tri-State Tornado of 1925; nearly 700 people in Missouri, Indiana and Illinois were killed that day. Susan has worked as an editor and has written several books for beginning readers. Her awards include Bank Street College Best Books, and The Katherine Paterson Prize. This is her first novel.
